parsnip & star machine

<from parsnip to star machine> I walk think and write every day. Sometimes with my boys, sometimes with company encountered along the way. It is my ritual and my work. 1/

A. I can't exist without theft of data and violations of copyright and privacy.

The author's decision to paint people objecting to AI scraping their posts/information as out of touch is certainly a choice. I'd also push back on the idea that everyone with a Gmail account just accepts that Google reads all of their emails.

Listen to Emily Drabinski's episode on the Liberating Lit website: www.liberatinglit.com/episodes/lib...

Through collective action, we create change. Emily Drabinski talks why union philosophies are crucial to literary advocacy; the tweet heard round the world and what it says about political fears; and how we utilize the tools available to protect libraries, library workers, and access to literature.

Top internet researchers have been freaking out for days about privacy following the appearance of an AI agent in their public listserv. The agent's creator is baffled by the reactions: www.wired.com/story/an-ai-...

Also, now I see why Acton didn’t agree to a debate. He would’ve weaponized her childhood trauma live on stage, and too many sickos in the manosphere would’ve enjoyed it. I’d questioned her decision because I think voters generally deserve to see debates between candidates. This is gross.

Amy’s brother responded with a statement confirming Amy’s abuse, calling the ad “a despicable low,” and saying his mother stayed married to “Amy’s rapist until he died.” All I can think is Republicans are mighty nervous and are hoping like hell ad viewers don’t dig deeper.

So let me get this straight: Vivek Ramaswamy put out an ad featuring Ohio gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s mother calling her a liar … but that woman is in denial about her husband having abused Acton when she was 12? Acton and her brother were removed from the home & the husband was arrested.

NEW: Senators blast Trump’s plan to rig child deportation proceedings. “Under your plan,” they wrote, the children’s attorneys work for the administration: “That is unacceptable.”

Since 1993, $111bn has been appropriated and allocated for recovery. But Congress must appropriate the money disaster-by-disaster. It’s been 21 months since the #LA wildfires and survivors are still waiting. #FEMA #HUD

And possibly kills the nurses, admin staff, cleaning staff, possibly even doctors who have crippling illnesses.

Why isn’t there more discussion regarding changing regular Medicare which will include limiting & delaying care, the privatization & narrowing of our health choices? Leave Medicare alone! We have people administering programs that have no idea how they work and are not affected by the changes.

So if there’s a data breach from a company that handles medical information can I collect money? HIPPA laws were broken.

Fun fact: Dolly Parton spent decades quietly funding band uniforms and instruments at Black high schools across the South - never once putting her name on it. No headlines, no fanfare — just help, given because it was needed. Wonderful Heart ♥️ RIP Dolly ❤️

I buoy into the air current And suddenly I am somewhere else. On a lotus pod, atop a dew-kissed leaf Or perhaps a blade of grass and we Slide down together into a blip! And I remember, once I was A star machine A spoon, and a star machine, ma-chine. 3/3

From my parsnip soils I slowly rose Small as gnats or just specs of dust or dirt itself But in the fresh air and open space Free to move, easily stunned 2/
